Bout of Books 7.0: "Create A Cover" Challenge + Giveaway!!

Hi! Today is the third day of boutofbooks 7.0 and this is my first time hosting a challenge. I'm hoping to get some amazing responses from all you guys. 

"Create A Cover" 
The title is pretty self-explanatory. All you have to do is create an alternative cover for a book. You can either draw it or use an existing picture or you can photograph a cover with things around the house like pets, action figures etc. It's totally depends on you. Just be original.
 
Like I created a cover for Lauren Barnholdt's novel Aces up and believe me I know the original is way better and mine totally sucks but hey, atleast I tried and so should you. Go Ahead and have some fun!

After creating the cover, upload it somewhere for me to see, be it on your blog or twitter or Facebook or any other site and put the link in the comments below. All the best!! 

RULES
  • The winner will get to choose a book under $15 from TBD
  • You have 24 hours to complete this challenge 
  • You must be signed up for Bout of Books 7.0 and have your goals posted somewhere
  • You must be 13 years or older to enter

    Your cover is actually not bad. Mine sucks. But we're meant to know how to write not edit! I had fun going through pics from Paris, though. Here is mine: http://aliveorundead.blogspot.com.ar/2013/05/bout-of-books-update-create-cover.html

    I tried to do a cover for EONA, the book I'm tring to finish today for the read-a-thon.It ended up a little weird, but I liked the challenge, really fun! :D

    I love this challenge! I went through all the books I have read in the last couple of months and ended up using The Hot Zone, which is about the ebola virus which stems from monkeys. It's a scary book since it's a true story. Anyway, here is the link to my cover redo (underneath Wednesday): http://loveatfirstbook.com/boutofbooks

    I can't actually do anything with photo manipulation, so I cheated and compared actual covers for different editions. ^.^
    It's a very cool challenge though. I'll have to go see what everyone created!

    Love this challenge. I really like getting creative with pictures so I created a new cover for one of my favourite books: White Cat by Holly Black. You can find it on this page: http://www.cravingpages.nl/bout-of-books/
